Meta Catalog: Product rejected by policy

Error message
Disapproved: violates Meta Commerce policy

What's happening

Meta Commerce Manager disapproves products that violate community standards or commerce policy. Common: regulated goods, mature/sensitive products, weapons, alcohol in non-permitted markets, pseudo-medical claims, before/after photos.

Manual fix

Review the specific reason in Commerce Manager → Catalog → Diagnostics. Edit the product page, title, or description to comply. Submit for review.

Fix it with Emberfeed

Use a filter rule to exclude policy-flagged products from the Meta feed while keeping them in the Google or TikTok feed (where rules differ). Define once, applies to every matching product.

Catch Meta Catalog feed issues before they do.

Emberfeed checks every product against Meta Catalog's required fields and format rules, and most problems come with a fix: a field rule for the whole feed or an override for one product. It also measures your product photos, while rendering them and in the background after each refresh, and flags the ones that are too small for Meta Catalog.

Emberfeed is a hosted tool: it imports your existing product feed, renders every product image through one template and serves a new feed URL for Meta, Google, TikTok, Heureka, Zboží.cz and Glami. It costs 25 € per feed per month, and the first 3 months are free on one feed up to 1,000 products.
